Skiing Insurance

Our ski insurance is designed to combine traditional travel cover with protection for those added winter sports activities.

As standard, all of our Sports Travel Insurance policies include benefits such as 24 hour medical assistance and cover for medical fees, search and rescue cover, including repatriation back to the UK if required and cancellation cover.

We provide £200 worth of equipment cover as standard on our policies, which includes items you may rent such as skis, goggles or poles. The level of this cover can be increased to up to £5,600 on our Gold policy.

For travel insurance to be valid in your country of residence you must spend at least 2 nights away from home. You may find the Sports Accident Insurance policy is more appropriate for less than 3 days (2 nights) away in your Country of Residence.

Our travel insurance is only valid if purchased before you start your trip, and the dates selected above cover the full duration of your trip. If you have already started your trip or would like cover for a short period within your trip, you can purchase Activity Topup insurance while you are travelling, provided you have valid travel insurance in place.

Where are you travelling to?Country:

or Zone:

I confirm that:

my trip has not yet started

my trip will start and end in my country of residence (as selected above)

the dates selected above cover the full duration of my trip

If you are unable to confirm yes to these bullets points, do not take out this policy as you will not be covered.
If you already have general travel insurance (E.g. from your bank) for your trip and just need additional cover
for an activity or sport, our Activity TopUp insurance policy would be
more suitable. Call or email us if you have any queries.

More about skiing

Prior to 1860, skiing was primarily used for practical transport purposes in snow-rich areas but since then recreational skiing has massively grown in popularity, with competition also being introduced. Perhaps most popular is alpine skiing and with 1.2 million British people hitting the slopes each year, questions of safety are on the rise. Currently about 40% of skiers chose to wear a helmet which reduces the risk of head injury and it is hotly debated that helmets should be made compulsory. The boom of the ski industry and the introduction of the Winter Olympic Games in 1924 means winter sports are more popular and varied than ever but precautions should be taken. From heli-skiing to cross country skiing to ski jumping, make sure you’re fully covered with one of our comprehensive policies.
